[from Kristen Barden, Communications Director for Ward 4 Councilmember Muriel Bowser]
In late April 2008, Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and Councilmember Muriel Bowser announced the release of a solicitation for offers for three DC government owned properties to build restaurants and retail stores along the 3800 block of Georgia Avenue, NW. "This is another great step forward to bring much-needed revitalization to Georgia Avenue," said Councilmember Bowser. "Two things are needed to bring development to Georgia Avenue and other Ward 4 corridors-consistent leadership and resources. Today's announcement is evidence that we have both. We have an executive and a council member committed to making things happen on Ward 4's commercial corridors and the resources to make it happen," she added.
The District of Columbia currently owns three properties at 3813 and 3815 Georgia Avenue as well as a vacant lot at 3825-29 Georgia Avenue. Multiple development partners are requested who could turn these properties into retail and restaurants for the Petworth neighborhood. These sites could also include housing, with a requirement that 30% would be affordable. The 3813 and 3815 properties will be treated as a single development opportunity. Proposals will be due during the Summer of 2008 and developers will be chosen by October 2008. An advisory group provided input for the solicitation documents. All proposals will have to comply with the District's recently adopted green building standards. The solicitation released today is available here. For more information on the solicitation released today, please contact Sean Madigan at 727-4707 or [email protected].
Also happening on Georgia Avenue in Petworth - the Safeway Company previously announced plans to replace the 21,000 square foot store at Georgia Avenue and Randolph Street, NW with a state of the art 55,000 to 60,000 square foot lifestyle store. The store would occupy the ground floor with a multi-story residential building above it. Parking would be provided in an underground parking garage. The new store will feature floral, service seafood, service meat, organic produce, prepared food and deli departments, a drycleaner, Starbucks, pharmacy and a wide variety of grocery products including organic grocery items.
